St. Peters Board of Aldermen to Consider Cell Tower Again

The St. Peters Board of Aldermen will consider an application for a telecommunications tower at Anthony's Produce on Jungermann Road Thursday night. 

This is the second time that St. Charles Tower, Inc. has applied to place the tower on the vegetable seller's property, which is adjacent to residential neighborhood and a childcare center. 

The application did not receive enough votes from the board to win approval last time. 

City staff members wrote in a report that the request is reasonable because it's in a commercial location that fronts a major roadway and the tower would be screened by a fence and landscape buffer. 

The Planning and Zoning Commission disagreed with one aspect of the staff's report and amended it to read that the proposed tower cannot function in that location without a negative impact on the area. 

The Commission then voted on July 25 to unanimously recommend the Board of Aldermen deny the request for a permit. 

The Board of Aldermen is expected to consider the application at the Sept. 12 meeting. The meeting is scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
